I have the same issues with WYBE-DT. The sound is also very low on the digital station. I had similar problems with WGTW-DT.
WYBE likely doesn't have the money or programming to simulcast several channels, and in better presentation, like the PBS outlets, WHYY and NJN or any of the commercial nets or even indy WFMZ. TBN hasn't done a full upgrade job of WGTW, as there is still no digital multichannels of WGTW. WYBE-DT, WGTW-DT and analog, WPPX-DT and analog, WMCN-DT, along with several weak low power stations, were all deleted from my guide, anyways.

What is RIGHT with WYBE?
WYBE is basically a public access cable station with an over the air license.
Face it, 35 puts on all the shows that even WHYY scoffed at or were run up the turnpike after 48 found God. What a JOKE!<P ID="signature">______________
I've done it all...HOO HOO...tell 'em, Fred!
FOX News Alert: YOU SUCK!!! Ya like apples?</P>

Re: What is LEFT with WYBE?
Other major markets also have a "second" public TV station. NJN is an example. WLIE on Long Island is another Generally, the counter-program the lead PBS station.
I think 35 would do well to take over the continuing education programs 12 runs in the middle of the night. 12 could repeat the evening's PBS schedule as 39 does now. Both stations might do better.
PBS and other non-commercial broadcast program producers provide more shows than any station can possibly schedule. 35 should cut back on the public access and cherry pick shows not being seen in the area (including shows 12 pre-empts for local series). 35 can also provide another opportunity to see strong programming already seen on 12. They should continue local shows but be selective; don't put groups on just because they show up. More old movies which are real classics, sleepers or have cult followings would also help.

Some PBS observations

I am sure you mean WLIW not WLIE.
In New York, WLIW and WNET combined operations a few years ago, and their schedules complement each other nicely, and with those who are able to have NJN in the mix of channels there is more options of when to watch a program. There is also a kinda sorta PBS station WNYE, which is owned by the city, which is an outlet for some "international programs" (some brokered), educational programs, and some high quality local programs.
Getting back to WYBE, it seems like they are a very cheap, poorly done, wannabe version of the DC area's WNVC, if you judge by content. WNVC seems to be more technically comptent and have a bigger focus on international news.
The thing I have noticed comparing WLVT to WHYY, is that WLVT seems to have less local preemtions compared to WHYY, and when forced to choose between the two, I pick WLVT which seems to be a better PBS station and less full of itself compared to WHYY. Then again I am spoiled by WNET and very rarely have to make the choice between the other two. Let me just say all the WNET/WLIW people I have dealt with were nice while the WHYY people had some major swelled heads and holier than thou attidude.<P ID="signature">______________
